ALISON BOSHOFF: Fears mount for Hollywood legend Liza Minnelli's health as she pulls out of her film premiere


Showbiz legend Liza Minnelli is 'too unwell' to appear at the Tribeca Film Festival, where a new documentary about her life and legacy is screening next week.

Showbiz legend Liza Minnelli is 'too unwell' to make the journey from her home in Beverly Hills to New York to appear at the Tribeca Film Festival, where a new documentary about her life and legacy is screening next week. Her close friend Michael Feinstein (once Ira Gershwin's assistant) attributed the episode to the fact that she'd been 'ambushed' — told at the last minute she would be appearing in a wheelchair rather than sitting in a director's chair, which was her preference. Cleese, 84, who has spoken previously about his ‘tsunami of debt’ after three divorce settlements — including one costing him $20 million — has told friends he is delighted to be raking in serious cash from his comedy creation, in which he originated the role of madcap, moustachioed, branch-wielding hotelier Basil Fawlty.
